Richard Cohen at The Washington Post compares Trump’s mentality to Hitler’s:

A frightening precedent for Trump's disregard of the truth
By RICHARD COHEN Washington Post


I realize that the name Hitler has the distractive quality of pornography and so I cite it only with reluctance. Hitler, however, was not a fictional creation but a real man who was legally chosen to be Germany’s chancellor, and while Trump is neither an anti-Semite nor does he have designs on neighboring countries, he is Hitlerian in his thinking. He thinks the truth is what he says it is.

Just as Hitler’s remarks about Jews were deeply rooted in German anti-Semitism, so was Trump’s birtherism rooted in American racism — with some anti-Muslim sentiment thrown in. Trump’s adamant insistence on it raised issues not, as some have so delicately put it, about his demeanor, but instead about his rationality. It made a joke out of the entire furor over revealing his medical records. I’m sure that Trump is fine physically. Mentally, it’s a different story.

1. The Press has got to start addressing Trump's mental illness......

How long can you watch someone act crazy without identifying him as crazy?

2. I am beginning to think that if Hitler were to run in this country

(as a repub of course) he would get a minimum 45% of the vote.
